Accommodation

Hong Kong is one of the most expensive cities in the world in which to live and the prices of buying or renting in this city will shock most expats. The majority of the landscape here is hilly and mountainous, which simply means land is at a premium. The vast majority of residential buildings consist of high-rise apartment blocks that are tightly packed together in small spaces. A large percentage of expats opt for management-run apartments that offer club house facilities such as security services, swimming pools, gymnasiums and children’s playgrounds. However, the square footage of most of these apartments is very small and it is not unusual to find families of four living in accommodation that has less than 1200 square feet.
